Thunderhawk is one of the better maintained SLC's, but that doesn't say much. I'll ride it if there is a very short line, that's all it's worth.

This ride stinks. I had never ridden an slc until I rode this. If this is one of the better SLCs then the others must be real bad. Its efficiency sucks. It wasn't the workers though. It is how the ride is built.

The space taken by this ride, with the path to it and everything could fit like 3 slcs it is such a horrible waste of space.

The spot it is in has so much potential for a b&m invert.

^ Same here, Serial Thriller (well, it was called that when I rode it) was my first Vekoma SLC -- and needless to say I wasn't that impressed. It was as painful as I had heard, and really didn't offer much. And I boarded it with very low expectations. I enjoyed the park's Boomerang more than this.

Thewave89, not sure of your experience on roller coasters but this SLC sucks. And well all SLC's do. Vekoma has gotten so bad they are EXPECTED to deliver crappy roller coasters to their customers. The ONLY ride I have ever seen Vekoma make that was good is Deja Vu... and thats when the ride is actually working properly. This SLC is rough and when I did ride it, it was only cause of my coaster count. Just wanted to add another to the list, because I knew what I was getting myself into by riding it and well it didnt let me down in my expectations. The ride simply sucks.

First SLC I've ever ridden. One of my least favorite coasters ever. I genuinely did not enjoy one second of this ride.

Was O.K. Not too happy about "Hang and Bangs" personally.
